Philadelphia - Penn Center
Northwest of City Hall is the Penn Center, a complex of hotels and high-rise office blocks, including the Central Penn National Bank and the IBM Building. Previously there was a tacit agreement that no buildings in this area should be higher than the statue of William Penn (550ft/168ft), but in recent years a whole series of skyscrapers have been built.
